“ahhh! Shark still looks fake!”

Am I the only one who thinks that it’s the most ironic joke in the whole movie?

20 Years Later: The Hard Way

THE HARD WAY

directed by John Badham (Saturday Night Fever, WarGames)


Is it a classic? : No


In 1991, the buddy cop subgenre was getting pretty old. By that point, there was already too many Lethal Weapon, 48 Hours and Beverly Hills Cop movies. The moviegoers were tired of the good cop/bad cop or young cop/old cop formula.

The twist in The Hard Way was that it was about an actor trying to portray a cop to get a part in an action movie. It’s also funny because some of the screenwriters wrote for Miami Vice or some other cop shows on tv. They used their knowledge of the cliches in the genre to make fun of it.

Hard Way is far from being the best of it’s kind, but it’s still a pretty enjoyable hidden gem. Michael J. Fox is hilarious as always and he balances out James Woods perfectly.

Jaws 19: The Best Joke in Back to the Future 2

It’s hard to know how the future will turn out in 25 years. Even if we don’t have flying cars or cool hoverboards, some of the predictions made by Back to the Future turned out to be true. For instance, now they really have a baseball team in Miami!

But perhaps the greatest joke in the whole movie is the advertising for Jaws 19. Ironically, it’s almost criticizing the whole remake movement of our era and poking fun at the expense of Robert Zemeckis, who became obsessed with 3d since then.

“The shark still looks fake”, says Marty unaware of his brilliant meta-film joke.
